```text
Use deep research. I run a [TYPE OF BUSINESS] for [YOUR IDEAL CLIENT] in the [YOUR NICHE] space, and my main offer is [YOUR OFFER] at about [PRICE RANGE, e.g. $2,000 to $5,000]. Find 10 to 15 real competitors my ideal client would compare me to, including solo coaches, consultants, and small firms. Skip anyone without a real website or recent activity. For each one, capture: name and link, who they speak to, the big promise they make, their main offer and any visible pricing, the proof they show (testimonials, case studies, media), and how active they are online. Score each from 1 to 5 on clarity of message, strength of offer, and proof. Put it all in a sortable table. Then give me the 3 messages everyone repeats, the 3 client needs nobody addresses well, and 3 positioning angles I could own. Cite a source for every claim.
```
